Dance on Camera Festival 2017
February 3 - 7, 2017
There’s no way the viewer can keep still or not feel the joy when watching this documentary about the current swing dance world, which also examines the social and personal issues that affect the lives of the dancers.
For many, swing dance is an addiction and a joyful practice. This documentary is an insider’s look into the culture of the current swing dance world and an examination of the social and personal issues that affect the lives of the film’s subjects. What is remarkable is that no matter how tough things get, these men and women find their bliss doing what they love to do. On the dance floor they virtually explode with energy—leaping, twisting, revolving. There’s no way the viewer can keep still or not feel the joy. A Magnolia Pictures release.
